Choosing the best careers based on your zodiac sign

For as long as humans have been around, we’ve looked to the stars for answers. And one of the biggest questions continues to be “what do I do with my life?” Well, online psychic reading service Crystal Heart Psychics has come up with a helpful infographic to show you the best career path for your zodiac sign.

According to a 2008 CareerBuilder.com survey of close to 9,000 workers, they determined that those born under Scorpio, Leo, Taurus, and Cancer are the most likely to earn over $100,000 per year. Unfortunately, if you’re a Capricorn or Aquarius you’re most likely to earn under $35,000 per year.

Not sure of your career path? Not confident in your professional skills? The following infographic breaks down the personality and professional traits with the best jobs according to various zodiac signs. It’s in no way definitive, but makes for an interesting read.

Written in the stars: Choosing a career based on your zodiac sign

A person’s star sign is an indication of their personality, and while we often focus on what this means in a personal capacity, your career choice can also be determined by your zodiac sign. Discover the traits of various signs and see which career might best suit you.

Aquarius

The quality that sets Aquarius apart from everyone else is their humanitarian nature. They love to explore avant-garde ideas and have a curious and adventurous nature. They’re most likely to have an unconventional job, maybe even one of their own making. They’ll rebel against corporate environments, needing freedom of thought and movement. They won’t be satisfied doing things the same way they’ve always been done. So, if you’re looking for a fresh approach, an Aquarius won’t let you down.
